    How are you guys handling new clothes & sizing?

    When I started trying to lose weight, I barely fit into a 5X. :( By the time I realized that my body had gotten smaller, my 3X were starting to be too big. So, my Mom gave me some hand me downs and I'm finding that I'm wearing clothes in 3 sizes. I know clothes vary in size depending on cut...

    Good news and bad news

The only time in my life that I've ever had a stomach troubles were periods of really high stress. My doctor has...

    I'm having a hard time transitioning to soft solids.

    I was given permission to transfer to soft solids at my last visit. One of the things they recommended was soft, flaky fish, which is great. I love seafood. I baked tilapia last night and had it get stuck. I drank some warm tea and walked around and it passed. I gave it an hour before finishing...

    Hi, I'm new to the site.

    I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I started losing weight by using MyFitnessPal on Easter of last year, weighing roughly 420 lbs. I had gastric bypass surgery on 12/26, so I'm 4 weeks out today and down to 306 lbs. I'm a little disappointed at the moment because I lost 30 lbs...
